Downregulating miR-18a-3p increased HHT-induced inhibition of cell growth. a. Observed green fluorescence under the fluorescence microscope and verified the infection efficiency of lentivirus in both breast cancer cells. b. Validated the expression of miR-18a-3p when infected with LV- miR-18a-3p or LV-NC by qRT-PCR.The cell proliferative ability was detected by MTT (c and d) and clone formation assays (e). All data were analysed using unpaired t-tests and are shown as the means ± SD. *p< 0.05, **p< 0.01.
